This won’t do since it excludes Google’s Ecosystem for now (i.e.PLAYSTORE and APPS)

Amazon’s Ecosystem of over 200K (Android) Apps is not too bad. Obviously the phone is geared toward promoting Amazon Store and not Google, hence, the absence of Google Playstore.
A lot of people are saying that this phone will not sell because of its high price point. Amazon did not show any great confidence in this phone by launching it only in America, and with just one Tel. Carrier. Maybe it’s a sale strategy but it’s not a good one IMO.

@Patrick: You’re seeing version 2 of the article right now. Yuga obviously read my comment and corrected it.

I don’t see anything wrong with the grammar. Are you arguing because it’s simple and understandable?
